PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Promoted by COO and charged with replicating the successes I had achieved

new products and services, including customer initiatives. Reporting to

COO.

. Instituted a continuous improvement methodology that included

process automation and standardization initiatives which allowed us

to improve EBITDAR from a break-even standpoint to 50% through

August 2010. The execution of this program was so successful that

continuous improvements are being driven from all levels of the

organization, including entry level Data Entry operators managing

an alliance partner to implement OCR.

. Closed two redundant offices, in Randolph, Massachusetts and

Orlando, Florida ahead of schedule. Clients were transitioned to

Salt Lake City or Fort Myers based on geography or industry with no

disruption in service. This netted annualized savings of $900,000.

. Implemented standard and region-specific processes in new office

opened in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, using local workforce.

Accomplished this remotely as well as on-site in Rotterdam for six

months. Within two years this operation is delivering over 2

million EUR in revenue annually.

. Eliminated unnecessary staff, over 30 employees, by raising the bar

and gaining acceptance of more aggressive KPIs throughout the

Operations organization. As the top performers saw everyone being

held more accountable, and marginal contributors being eliminated,

their own productivity increased. Coupled with systematic

enhancements, this contributed to the ability to do more with less.

. Established partnerships with WNS N.A. and iTech BPO for offshore

data entry and quality assurance resulting in annualized savings

over $1 million. Utilized Six Sigma methodology in designing SLA

that maintained rigid standards of quality, timeliness, and

customer service.

launch of new customers led by a Director, reducing cycle time by

30 days. New business delivered by this team includes: Microsoft,

Hitachi, UTC, Watson Pharmaceutical, and MillerCoors.

. Reduced cycle time from 7 to 5 days, achieving 99% on-time

performance.

. Led the design effort for new customer offerings, including On-Line

Exceptions Processing, Image-based Contracts, Data Warehouse, and

Business Intelligence division, which have added $200,000 of annual

recurring revenue to the bottom line.

General Manager August 99 - November 03

Promoted at the same time that the previous GM was elevated to the position

of VP of Operations. Accountable for overall P&L of Fort Myers, FL

operation which generated $6 million in annual revenue and $1 million in

EBITDAR from a customer base that included GE, Siemens, Boeing, BMW,

Decision One, Eastman Kodak, and 85 employees.

Ratio, and Customer Retention. Achieved organizational bonus

individually, and for my team, each year.

. Volunteered to assume GM responsibility for office in Atlanta, GA

in March 2003, and successfully closed that office, transitioning

its client base to Fort Myers, FL and Salt Lake City, UT,

customers to warehouse paper invoices, while also earning over

$100,000 in additional monthly revenue from new service offering.
